Mutation Register
In the revenue system of Jammu and Kashmir, the Mutation Register (also known as the Register Intiqalat) is a vital document used to record changes in land ownership, title, or tenancy.Key Features of the Mutation Register:
Structure: It is a printed register containing 100 leaves. Each leaf consists of two parts: a foil (which is eventually detached and sent to the Tehsil office) and a counterfoil (which remains in the register with the Patwari).
Purpose: Whenever land is sold, inherited, or gifted, a "Mutation" (Intiqal) is entered here. This entry serves as a temporary record until it is verified by a Revenue Officer (usually a Tehsildar or Naib-Tehsildar) and subsequently incorporated into the Jamabandi (Record of Rights).
Identification: As described, the title page contains the administrative details like the name of the Village, Tehsil, and District to ensure clear record-keeping.
